Mobile Deathcamp, Dark Design, End Of Days, Dysplasia

Perhaps Mobile Deathcamp sounds scary, what with a name that suggests marauding and murder. But the Toledo trio plays its reverent thrash metal with a goofy sort of glee, their blasts of fury and frustration interrupted only by the enthusiastic stump speeches of frontman and former GWAR bassist Todd Evans. Luckily, it's that oomph that overcomes most of their obsequy to their forebears. And on the heels of Columbus Day, listen closely for Deathcamp's intriguing and admittedly underplayed Native American advocacy.
